Freepers on Ukraine threads be like:

As I’ve been saying from the beginning regarding Ukraine:
We are being lied to by the Russian media and authorities.
We are being lied to by the Ukrainian media and authorities.
We are damn sure being lied to by the US media and authorities.
We are being lied to by the EU media and authorities.
We are being lied to by the Brit media and authorities.
In War the first casualty is the Truth.
That from at least early May, and perhaps earlier. Here:

Nothing has changed, there is still very little light. And I am still not on any of the sides above, I like none of them.
I will say any FReepers lining up on the side of Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, Klaus Schwab, et al, should do some serious soul searching.
There are more than two sides here, but yes.
Yes, 100%. Europe can take care of it’s own defense. We shouldn’t have to pay for it with our son’s lives and limbs or our treasure. Explain to me why Europe is so poor and has so few people and lacks the ability to defend itself from Russia. Europe is partially a welfare continent of America. We pay for their welfare because they don’t pay for their own defense. Trump was right about pulling out of NATO. He should never had been talked out of it.
And then you have Musk taking over Twitter . . .
Should be interesting.
You’re not allowed to say that. Ask Kanye.
yes!
Ask your nearest defense contractor how important their FMS business is. Foreign Military Sales, fast-tracked for fellow NATO governments.
We have opinions but they have billion$ on the table.
Maybe FR needs a funnies section. 😀
“Do you think the USA should drop out of NATO and remove our troops and bases from Europe?”
Of course.
And pro-vaxxers.
It t was fairly negative to be called a Philistine too.
Take heart. The Red Tsunami is coming Nov 8.
Very true. I actually stopped my monthly donation because I felt I was contributing to a Ukrainian-Biden propaganda site.
Anyone who indicated even the most modest objection to the program was swarmed and vilified, even if the issue appeared in passing on a thread that had nothing to do with the Ukraine. I began to wonder if somebody had launched the bots on FR.
Yes.
Spot on.
I was suspicious from the very start. We live in an age where the cell phone and video recorder are as common as dogs and cats. Musk made sure Ukraine had internet accessibility from nearly the start.
Yet look at how few lengthy, informative video and interviews are actually coming out compared to what must be a deluge of them being made. In the west most are simply vids of Russian armor being blown up..and very short at that. The Russian made stuff is nearly absent. I see many very small clips on an Indonesian website of Ukrainian soldiers being manned and killed but once again very short and specific clips.
Both sides seem to be restricting the truth and showing their narrative with as little evidence as they can. Of course a few exceptions exist.
I agree. Most of the comments read as if they were posted by 12 year olds who think bathroom humor, name calling, and profanity somehow makes them funny, smart, or profound. Threads are filled with such comments. Read a thread on Biden, how many posts ask if he has filled his diaper today. Really? The country is disintegrating under our feet and that’s a Freeper’s best contribution? I miss the days of learned and great conversations that used to occur on FR. Most of those Freepers who used to participate either have left or just don’t post anymore. It’s sad.
You are not alone.
Tibet is not used by the US to launder billions
“...they’ve never offered the world anything but trouble.”
I beg to differ. Ukraine has supplied us with strippers, belligerent truck drivers, mail order brides and hookers. But then so have the Russians. Oh wait, I see your point. :-)
You have had a lot of interesting adventures, and thank you for your stories.
Tru dat.
